Sunrise over Twin Bays - from my canoe

I spend most summer mornings and evenings paddling around the two bays on either side of our small peninsula and its small island. I take photos of the long vistas, close ups of the critters, the marsh, and anything that catches my eye. In the winter I also paint scenes from memory and a few of the photos. It will be a few weeks before I can get to the cabin. But soon.....

For this blog I am focusing on sunrises I have caught on film and one painting finished this month.

I'm not one who feels comfortable venturing out into the water, in a boat or as a swimmer. But you've taken me places I wouldn't otherwise travel. Beautiful, soothing, gliding, energizing...words and pictures, both. Thank you for paddling for the both of us.

Thank you for a lovely interlude on a rainy day in Lake Country! I'm watching the ice in front of our house on the Winnipeg River. There are little dark circles on it where I believe springs are sending up some warmer water to weaken winter's soft underbelly. I hope to get out into the woods on Saturday to hunt for deer sheds to decorate the bookshop. I just can't stay inside any longer!

Melodye, Newfenees Eliz, and Amy. They have changed the way I can answer individual post,so clearly, I have to look into that change and figure out how to fix it! Clearly I have to post each one as they come in and answer each individually before I allow the next one to go up. Grrr. But for now I will thank you all for your lovely comments!

Melodye, I somehow imagined you were a swimmer! I'm glad you allowed me to paddle you around our small bays. lol. I'm really happy you connected with the quotes, too. xo

Newfenees, Elizabeth - I have no idea when my lake will open. If the Wpg river near you is still frozen, my lake musn't be open. We used to have friends that lived there and could tell us when it opened. I guess I'll have to phone around!! :-)

Amy, thank you for your lovely words of encouragement. :-) Get better soon!

Dear Margaret -- These pictures took me to places I've never been. Canoeing on a lake by myself at sunrise or sunset would never have occurred to me to do, nor would I ever have had the opportunity to do -- SO your experiences became mine with this post. The pictures are beautiful beyond words, but the words that you put with them are beautiful as well. Thank you!Gail Goetz

Gail, Thanks for your comments! Every morning the sky is a pleasure to watch on the lake. It changes every second. But some of them at some point become pretty spectacular. I'm glad you like the quotes under the photos and a few of my own as well. Big hugs!

I was told by a children's lit prof once, that some of the students in his class, after reading my books, were sure there were ...

At the end of each of my blogs is a small info bar that includes a comments button as well as other buttons. The comments button might say "No comments" which is confusing.
